Question

read the excerpt from poes \the fall of the house of usher.\its evidence – the evidence of the sentience – was to be seen, he said, (and here i started as he spoke,) in the gradual yet certain condensation of an atmosphere of their own about the waters and the walls. the result was discoverable, he added, in that silent, yet importunate and terrible influence which for centuries had moulded the destinies of his family, and which made him what i now saw him – what he was. such opinions need no comment, and i will make none.based on this excerpt, the narrator seems supportive of ushers theory. skeptical of ushers theory. curious about the history of the house. analytical about the history of the house.

Explanation:

The narrator states "Such opinions need no comment, and I will make none" after Usher presents his theory. Additionally, the narrator "started" in reaction to Usher's claim, a subtle sign of doubt. This indicates the narrator does not endorse Usher's unusual theory of the house being sentient, showing skepticism.

Answer:

skeptical of Usher's theory.
